Final Vote on Consumer Privacy Law

PROPOSED
CONSUMER PRIVACY LAW
SCHEDULED FOR FINAL VOTE
AT DALY CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT

Vice
Mayor Tissier Seeks Council's Vote and Local Support
for Stringent Ordinance Against Unwanted Financial
Disclosure

Who:

The
City Council of Daly City will consider
adopting Ordinance No. 1295 at tonight's
regular meeting. The five-member Council
is comprised of Mayor Michael Guingona,
Vice Mayor Adrienne Tissier, and
Councilmembers Madolyn Agrimonti,
Carol Klatt and Sal Torres.

What:

Ordinance
No. 1295 would "require local financial
institutions to provide their customers
notice and meaningful choice about how consumers'
personal information is shared or sold by
their financial institutions." Scheduled
for tonight's meeting is the second reading
and vote on the ordinance.

Vice
Mayor Adrienne Tissier, the sponsor
of the proposed ordinance that was originally
introduced on June 24th, is expected to
ask the Council to adopt the proposed consumer
privacy law. If it passes, Daly City will
become the first city in California to adopt
the consumer privacy law.

"This
measure places Daly City at the cutting
edge of protecting our citizens against
predatory schemes. We need to finish the
job the State Legislature has failed to
do in Sacramento year after year. Local
efforts, such as Ordinance No. 1295, should
serve as a wake up call for federal and
state legislators," the Vice Mayor
noted.

When:

Monday,
September 9, 2002
The regular City Council meeting starts
at 7 p.m.

Where:

City
Hall - Council Chambers
333 - 90th Street, 2nd floor, Daly City.

Why:

Federal
legislation currently allows financial institutions
and insurance companies to trade consumer
information virtually without restriction.
At the state level, legislation by Senator
Jackie Speier (D - San Francisco / San
Mateo) failed for two years in a row, despite
last-minute efforts.
